Meanwhile, Fox has asked the law firm Paul, Weiss to conduct an internal investigation into O’Reilly’s treatment of Walsh.

CNN reports that Fox News owner and Executive Chair Rupert Murdoch would like to keep O’Reilly on air as his show is the most popular show on the network (and cable news as a whole) while his son James Murdoch (who sees that he is costing the network scores of money in suits and lost revenue) wants him out.
